Bioware shared some sad news as they confirmed the passing of designer Corey Gaspur on their blog late last night. Gaspur worked at Bioware for nine years on games such as Sonic Chronicles, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3. Prior to working at Bioware, he worked at Propaganda Games and he was also a part-time instructor at Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) teaching game design. Currently, he was working on Anthem that's due out next year.
"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and colleague Corey Gaspur.
He was a member of our team for over nine years, and worked as a designer on many of our titles, including Sonic Chronicles, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2 and 3, and most recently Anthem.
Corey was a talented designer and an even better person. We offer our condolences to Corey's family and everyone that knew him.
We will miss you."
Our thoughts are with Corey Gaspur's family, friends and colleagues.
